Rockstar Games...Make your fans proud!

Ah Rockstar, The games developer with GOD written on their forehead, They have been with me through my entire gaming career, (If you call it a career) creating such masterpieces as the Grand Theft Auto series, The Warriors and Red Dead Redemption. They have honestly NEVER failed to amaze us all.

But one thing they're not good at is being efficient enough to please us often, (Very impatient people us RS fans) They released GTA3 in 2001 which practically changed the face of gaming, then GTA Vice City in 2002 which was almost utter perfection and way ahead of it's time, and it was only a year after! then two years later in '04 they released the masterpiece, the top dog, the bossman... Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. which in my opinion (say what you want) was the best game ever made, and none shall surpass it. Then they had the "spin offs" the stories form Liberty City and Vice City really were just to keep us busy whilst they created GTA 4,

Now...GTA4, GTA4, GTA4 (In the style of a teacher at parents evening) was a bit of a let down to be honest, still a playable game don't get me wrong! but nothing of what it was cracked up to be. And a bit of a kick in the teeth to loyal GTA fans (myself) it lacked a lot of what we love, it was too serious and trying to be more like a film than a fun game, but that's besides the point, that was FOUR years ago! And there's no sign, even now in 2011 of anything coming out.
What I don't think Rockstar realise is the sheer intensity of Loyal fans (also combined which 13 year old robots) that buy their games, All they need to do is re-release a new formatted GTA: San Andreas and they'll make bloody millions! as well as practically ending my social life and making any other game irrelevant. But as many say they need a NEW GTA, not set in a "revamped" Liberty City, My personal opinion would be one set back in the 70's, perhaps a Starsky and Hutch style game, in a new city, with the classic GTA comedic storyline that is somehow serious at the same time. I could be here for days listing all my ideas but at the end of the day we want something new! but something new that still sticks the ol' GTA tradition.

The reason I played it so much was because there isn't any specific objective in the game, you're never tied down to one thing, yeah the story mode is there (and it usually kicks ass) but if you don't want to do that there's so much to do elsewhere, even just exploring makes it awesome. The GTA series is a powerful one, it's inspired the "GTA clones" you know...True Crime, Saints Row, Mafia, The Godfather? and imitation is the best form of flattery ;) please let me know your ideas!
